Reading Mrs. Dalloway: June 13 2020 Craig Saper (aka DJ Readies) with Zara Worth In honor of #DallowDay, Craig Saper's excerpt of his 2020 version of Mrs. Dalloway (with a reading of the new version by the UK-based social media artist Zara Worth) has been published by Textshop Experiments.
The piece can be used as a prompt, assignment, or example in discussions of either conceptual writing and reading, or of the echoic potential of Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway in 2020. What I am interested in highlighting is the echoes of today’s situation (pandemic) already in Woolf’s text and now desedimented as if I was reading it imperfectly now on June 13, 2020 based around a the homonym in the novel's opening line. Besides rewriting the text as if the opening line’s homonym directed the rest of the novel, I have also re-masked Clarissa Dalloway on the front cover.

Fantasy stories like this is what I love reading. I think that the fantasy genre is just filled with all sorts of things. If you ask me, people need to go and use this as the focal point for everything. As long as we are able to go and use these stories to make life better for ourselves, then that is what is best for us. I hope that we keep doing things that are okay for us, that is for sure.
